Massachusetts recorded 10 behavioral health provider deactivations during the week of August 31 through September 6, 2026, accounting for 5% of the national total. The records include 9 individuals and 1 organization. This is a registry update, not a direct measure of clinical workforce levels or practice activity.
Credential Mix
Clinical Social Worker was the leading retired taxonomy, with 4 records, or 40% of the Massachusetts total. RBT and Psychologist each accounted for 2 records, or 20% apiece. Specialist and Counselor each appeared once, representing 10% apiece. The mix indicates that the week’s deactivations were concentrated most heavily among clinical social worker records, while also including behavioral technician, psychology and counseling classifications.
City Distribution
Boston had the largest city count, with 2 deactivations. Southborough, Plymouth, Medford and Waltham each had 1. The remaining records were distributed among other Massachusetts cities, including Fitchburg, West Springfield, Randolph and Arlington. With only Boston appearing more than once among the leading cities, the geographic pattern is dispersed rather than concentrated in a single location. The city and taxonomy distributions describe where deactivated NPI records were listed, not changes in local access or staffing.
These figures summarize administrative NPI status changes for Behavioral Health Providers in Massachusetts and do not, by themselves, establish that any specific provider stopped practicing.
